Join us on Friday 8 December 2023 at Penang Institute in Penang, Malaysia (or live on Facebook and YouTube), for a book launch and discussion on the life and times of Francis Light with Rose Gan, author of Penang Chronicles. Registration is now open: https://bit.ly/pi-chronicles

Francis Light:
The story of Captain Francis Light and his life partner Martinha Rozells is well known to us all – or is it? While sources on Light are relatively plentiful – if somewhat obscure – little is known for certain about Martinha, who remains an enigmatic figure in the usual accounts. The trilogy of novels entitled ‘Penang Chronicles’ (Dragon, Pear and Emporium) recounts the story of Francis Light and his family anew, bringing a fresh look at this pivotal moment in the history of the Malay Peninsula, with the focus this time firmly on the peoples of the Straits.

Author Rose Gan:
Rose is the author of three books and has spoken about Francis Light, Martinha Rozells and the establishment of the British settlement of Penang to audiences at literary festivals and other book events in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Singapore, Suffolk (UK) and Adelaide (Australia).

Book Launch & Discussion:
In A New Light: Rediscovering the life and times of Francis Light in the Penang Chronicles

Details:
Date: 8 December 2023, Friday
Time: 8.00 pm – 9.30 pm
Venue: Penang Institute, 10 Brown Road, 10350 George Town

Posted @withregram • @riteoncourse When the days are getting shorter and the nights colder. One of the best things to do is stay home and read under thick blankets😄. My recommended book this time around is The Black and White House by @karienvd . A captivating story that covers cultures - east and west, past and present, and much more. With the festive season approaching, this would make a lovely gift to any reader.
